Occurrence of ostracodes in ODP holes 101-627B and 101-635B (Table 1)

In Cores 101-627B-38X, -627B-39X, -627B-43X, -627B-46X, -627B-47X, and in Core 101-635B-14R, 10 species of ostracodes were found, all of which originally were described as being late Albian-Cenomanian from occurrences in the southeastern United States: Cytherella austinensis, Cythereis (Cytnereis) fredericksburgoides, Cythereis (C.) cf. pittensis, Cythereis (Rehacythereis) simunoluda, Cytheropteron (Eocytheropteron) jugosum (very rare), Isocythereis (?) sp., Protocythere alexanderi, Protocythere paratriplicata, Pterygocythereis cf. tokiana, and Schuleridea washitaensis. This assemblage indicates an outer neritic environment.
